GOOD TO KNOW
Everything you need for this journey
01
Meeting point
Gatwick has a North and a South Terminal, so before you travel our team will confirm your exact meet and greet location for the right one, and you'll never have to wonder where to go. Your driver will text you as they arrive, so you can leave the headache behind and start your journey to Manchester.
Flying into Gatwick, your driver will be waiting in the arrivals hall with a name sign. We'll time their arrival to whatever pickup slot you request after landing, giving you the time you need to clear immigration and collect your baggage. Gatwick is one of the busiest single-runway airports in the world, but arrivals still move quickly and your driver will be easy to spot with a clearly visible name sign. If you're travelling during peak traffic (weekday mornings or evenings), do allow a little extra time for the journey.
02
About Manchester
Manchester was the world's first industrial city, its Victorian cotton mills once earning it the nickname Cottonopolis. Today it's just as well known for its music scene, home to bands like Joy Division, The Smiths, and Oasis, and for two Premier League football clubs, Manchester United and Manchester City.
03
Along the way
Any stop along the route is entirely optional, but if there's anywhere you'd like to see, let us know and we're happy to arrange a detour or waiting time, at an extra cost.
04
Local Knowledge
Manchester hosts frequent major events at venues like the AO Arena, Etihad Stadium, and Old Trafford, which can mean busy traffic and road closures around the city centre. We plan your pickup and drop-off around these where we can.
